Upon hearing Mu Yueqing's response, Zhou Tianfang and Mo Qingxi were both taken aback, momentarily at a loss.
"Did the Empress kill him?"
Mu Yueqing smiled faintly and said, "What, do you two want to avenge him?"
Zhou Tianfang quickly replied, "I wouldn't dare! It's just that the Empress..."
Mu Yueqing suddenly raised her jade hand, interrupting Zhou Tianfang.
Then, a palace maid behind her walked forward, carrying the Holy Star Clothes on a tray.
The palace maid said to the two, "Previously, a thief intruded into the Empress's bedchamber. The Empress has already dealt with him and seized this garment. I suppose you two are here for the Holy Star Clothes, correct?"
Mo Qingxi stepped forward to receive the Holy Star Clothes, realizing these were indeed the ones that had been taken from her before.
At this moment, Zhou Tianfang asked, "May I ask where the body of that scoundrel is now?"
